Tom Still: Attack ads build on misinformation about data centers in Wisconsin
Leaving aside the fact that Silicon Valley has done a miserable job of explaining how data centers work while sometimes trying to ram them down the throats of unprepared local governments, here’s why claims about water, electricity and farmland use are overblown – if not outright wrong.

Pat Peterson: Wisconsin’s choice: wind farms, solar farms, no farms at all
